Q Noodles

Q Noodles channels the springy, chewy “Q” bite of Chinese comfort food into a family-run restaurant in Cary. The crew handcrafts noodles and dumplings in-house, keeping the menu rooted in traditions that resonate with the Triangle’s growing appetite for regional Chinese cooking. Warm hospitality and a focus on fresh ingredients set the tone from the first steamy basket brought to the table.

Signature bowls lean into Chongqing-style spice, from golden broth beef noodles to classic Chongqing xiao mian, each built with carefully chosen cuts and pantry staples the chef insists on sourcing to his exacting standards. Diners gravitate to the mixed soup dumpling flight, which rotates two pork, two shrimp-and-pork, one chicken, and one peppercorn-spiced dumpling for a six-piece tasting of textures. The kitchen fine-tunes recipes based on guest feedback, translating meticulous mise en place into soulful bowls and bamboo baskets.

Guests drop by for quiet weekday lunches or weekend feasts with friends, and the online ordering portal keeps takeout smooth for busy nights at home. Daily hours run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with Friday and Saturday service stretching to 9:30 p.m., so handmade comfort is available for both midday cravings and late-evening suppers. Whether you dine in or carry out, Q Noodles delivers a consistent taste of carefully crafted Chinese comfort food.
